Hello. Is there any danger of riding with a seatpost above minimum insert? The previous owner cut the post and now I ride with the seatpost maybe about 4cm in the frame. I don't have a tape measure but about 4cm ish of the post is in the frame.
I can't see the old min insert but I assume it's more than 4cm. Bike is a Dolan Pre Cursa, with the alu alpina seatpost.

Yes. You're increasing the leverage exerted by the seatpost, by effectively moving the pivot point at the seat clamp, and there's a risk the increased load at the end of the seatpost will deform the seat tube.
